Why You Should Choose Serviced Apartments Over Hotels for Your Next Stay

When planning a trip—whether for business or leisure—finding the right accommodation is crucial to your overall experience. While hotels are often the go-to choice for many travelers, Adelaide serviced apartments are rapidly becoming the preferred option for those seeking a more flexible, comfortable, and cost-effective stay.

If you're considering your options, here are some compelling reasons why you should choose serviced apartments, such as Toms Court Hotel, Durham Serviced Apartments, or Hume Serviced Apartments, over traditional hotels for your next trip to South Australia.

Durham Serviced Apartments in Glenelg are equipped with everything you need for a long or short stay

1. Space and Comfort

Serviced apartments are designed to feel like a home away from home, providing you with significantly more space than a standard hotel room. Instead of being confined to just a bedroom and bathroom, you get a fully furnished living area, kitchen, and often separate dining space. This extra room is perfect for spreading out, unwinding after a long day, and even entertaining guests or colleagues if you're traveling for business.

2. Home-Like Amenities

One of the most significant advantages of serviced apartments is access to home-like amenities. Equipped with kitchens, laundry facilities, and even workspaces, these apartments allow you to maintain your daily routines and enjoy home-cooked meals. If you’re staying for an extended period, being able to do laundry and prepare your own meals can save you both time and money compared to dining out or using hotel laundry services.

For example, Toms Court Hotel, located on King William Street in Adelaide CBD, offers fully equipped serviced apartments perfect for business travelers, while Durham Serviced Apartments on Durham Street provide a spacious and modern stay for families or groups visiting South Australia.

Hume Serviced Apartments provides the comforts of home with city living in Hutt Street. 

3. Flexibility and Independence

Serviced apartments provide you with more freedom and independence than a hotel. Want to cook a late-night meal or host a meeting in your living area? With serviced apartments, the space is yours to use as you like. You can also choose whether you want housekeeping services every day or just on selected days—whatever suits your schedule.

4. Cost-Effective for Long Stays

For extended stays, serviced apartments offer better value for money. Hotels often charge higher nightly rates, and additional expenses such as dining out and laundry services can add up quickly. Serviced apartments typically offer competitive weekly or monthly rates, making them a more economical choice for long-term guests.

Hume Serviced Apartments on Hutt Street is an ideal choice for long-term travelers looking for a cost-effective yet comfortable option in the heart of Adelaide. With a variety of room configurations, guests can enjoy a spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen, and the convenience of being close to local attractions.

5. Ideal for Families and Groups

Traveling with family or a group of friends? Booking multiple hotel rooms can become expensive and inconvenient. A serviced apartment, on the other hand, provides everyone with a shared living space, making it easier to enjoy quality time together while still having individual privacy. Plus, the full-sized kitchens are perfect for preparing meals for the whole group, giving you more control over your dining options and budget.

6. Central Locations with a Community Feel

Serviced apartments are often located in the heart of the city, providing easy access to business hubs, entertainment precincts, and tourist attractions. They also tend to be in residential-style buildings, creating a sense of community and security that’s hard to match in large hotel chains.

Toms Court Hotel is conveniently situated on King William Street, just steps away from public transport and popular Adelaide attractions. Durham Serviced Apartments offers easy access to Durham Street’s vibrant dining scene, while Hume Serviced Apartments on Hutt Street places you within walking distance of the Adelaide CBD, local cafes, and parks.

7. A Personalized Experience

Unlike hotels, which can sometimes feel impersonal and busy, serviced apartments offer a more personalized experience. Staff often get to know guests who stay longer and can tailor their service to meet individual preferences. This is especially important for business travelers who want a hassle-free stay and families looking for a more comfortable environment.

8. Perfect for Work-Life Balance

If you’re a business traveler, serviced apartments provide the ideal work-life balance. With dedicated workspaces, high-speed internet, and a peaceful setting, you can stay productive during the day. After work, relax in your own living area or cook up your favorite meal without leaving your accommodation.

9. Pet-Friendly Options

Many serviced apartments offer pet-friendly accommodations, so you don't have to leave your furry friend behind. Hotels often have strict pet policies, making it difficult for pet owners to find suitable options. With serviced apartments, you can find a place that welcomes your pets, adding an extra layer of comfort to your stay.

10. A Local Experience

Staying in a serviced apartment lets you experience a destination more like a local. Rather than being confined to the tourist-centric locations of large hotel chains, you’re more likely to be based in neighborhoods with a local vibe, giving you the opportunity to explore the area and immerse yourself in the culture.

Final Thoughts

While hotels have their place for short stays or luxury experiences, serviced apartments are an excellent alternative for travelers looking for space, flexibility, and home-like amenities. Whether you’re traveling for business, relocating, or planning an extended stay, serviced apartments offer the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and value.
